Global Monopoly of Technology

Zhong Yuanhong had already negotiated business affairs during his trip, but he was not in a hurry to leave, and still had a long talk with Luo Sheng.

Because Zhong Yuanhong wanted to know more, and Luo Sheng didn't hide too much.

"As far as my family is concerned, the fourth industrial revolution is definitely not on the Internet, nor is it on the Internet of Things in a narrow sense." Luo Sheng is talking with him, and he once again reiterated the Internet from the 1.0 era to 4.0 predicted at the developer conference. speeches of the times.

And now, we are in the 2.0 era of the Internet, between the 3.0 eras.

At the developer conference, Luo Sheng described the future as a data age where everything can be connected and everything is interconnected.

Now as Luo Sheng's aura is getting more and more dazzling, some of the speeches he shared before, especially some of the predictions he made are very marketable now.

Many people even believed it.

"Why do you say it's in these five fields? Let's talk about new materials first." Luo Sheng took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and Zhong Yuanhong, who was sitting opposite him, was also listening carefully. reported by superiors.

After a while, Luo Sheng began to speak eloquently: "The first choice for new materials is graphene, or stanene, let's talk about graphene first. In 2004, two scientists from the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom used a slightly special tape to divide the graphite sheet into two parts. Second, in the end, a sheet consisting of only one layer of carbon atoms is obtained, which is a graphene material, and it is very possible to tear off a Nobel Prize with a single vote of tape."

"This is an emerging electronic industry material with excellent technical performance and a wide range of applications. For example, as a battery application, charging for ten minutes can make a car run for thousands of kilometers, and it is the only way to replace silicon chips. This is my future focus for investment and research.”

When he heard Luo Sheng say this, Zhong Yuanhong nodded to himself and muttered to himself: "Graphene, stanene..."

And Luo Sheng continued: "However, although graphene is a new material, although the prospect is extremely attractive, the cost of preparing graphene with the current technical means and industrial standards is too expensive to dilute the cost, so it is both in the market and economically. There is no competition, but there is no doubt that this is the general trend in the future, if the cost of preparing graphene comes down one day, it will definitely replace silicon wafers."

Zhong Yuanhong firmly remembers the term "graphene". He is neither a research institute nor a businessman. Although graphene has been discovered for five years, he did not know such a magical material before.

In fact, you can also see the leopard from here. For now, the state's investment in scientific research is still stretched.

It can also be proved from the side that this time the country is willing to spend 50 billion huge sums of money for Luo Sheng to squander. Although he agreed to his three harsh conditions, this will not affect the country's high hopes for him.

After all, it's really not a small amount of money.

Next, Luo Sheng introduced the following four fields one by one, life genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, quantum technology and controllable nuclear fusion, all of which are simple and easy to understand.

As for the controllable nuclear fusion that is "always 50 years away", Luo Sheng placed it in the last and most important of the five fields.

Because once this technology achieves breakthrough progress, it will fundamentally and completely subvert the current pattern of all mankind. It can be summed up in one sentence: whoever masters the controllable nuclear fusion technology first will become unshakable in this world. 's boss.

Among these five areas,

Luo Sheng has actually begun to quietly exert his strength in the field of artificial intelligence, because this is the easiest to hide, and once the other four fields are launched, it is impossible to hold back, and breakthrough progress will soon be eliminated. Exposure can't be hidden for long.

But artificial intelligence can be perfectly hidden, and then look at Pantech.

In addition to this level, another level is to test the existing industrial level of human beings, and the requirements for high-end equipment are very strict.

Although artificial intelligence also requires advanced hardware indicators, compared with the other four fields, the requirements are really much lower. Among them, supercomputing is a hardware indicator. The core difficulty of supercomputing is not actually on the processor. Architectural solutions coordinated by thousands of processors.

If the system architecture is not well designed, adding more processors will slow down the supercomputing power level.

...

As time passed, half an hour had passed since Luo Sheng and Zhong Yuanhong's chat.

At the moment, the two sides are communicating on a larger scale, and some things that cannot be said blatantly to the outside world are also said at this moment. After all, the communication is private, and the representatives of the communication objects are not comparable to ordinary people.

Now that Luo Sheng's career has achieved this level, if the structure is still based on the relationship between the enterprise and the profit level, it is basically over.

"...how to say, I think China and the United States have their own advantages, and in the near future, our odds of winning will be greater than that of the United States, but now the United States' advantage is indeed overwhelming on the whole, and it is overwhelming worldwide. Sexual advantage." Luo Sheng said in a deep voice.

The current national strategy is very simple. Dig deep, store grain widely, and do not seek hegemony. Once the world changes drastically, it will be able to compete in the Central Plains.

And technology and industrial manufacturing will always be the top priority.

"The advantage of the United States lies in its unparalleled innovation capabilities. In recent years, Bluestar Technology has grown rapidly, and the development momentum of the Côte d'Azur is not weak. There are also good technology companies such as Huawei, but this is only a partial and individual phenomenon, and it must not be regarded as a Look at it as a general phenomenon." Luo Sheng looked at the other party and said seriously.

Zhong Yuanhong nodded in agreement and sighed: "You are right, in the past two or three decades, most of the world's best high-tech is provided by Americans, and the expansion of the scope is European and American people. , the bigger one is Japan and other Western countries... In short, there is basically nothing in my country, which sounds uncomfortable, but this is an objective fact."

It is worth mentioning that although Japan is an Asian country, it is an Asian country geographically, but a Western country in terms of governance.

Zhong Yuanhong suddenly seemed to be talking to himself and asked, "Why are Americans so unparalleled in their ability to innovate?"

Luo Sheng was silent for a while after hearing the words, and then said: "My family's comments on this issue can be summarized into three factors. The first is that the capital operation of the Americans is very good, and the capital from all over the world will go to the United States. Let's attract investment or something. It’s all hard work, and those capitals go to the United States and go to Silicon Valley to engage in venture capital, and they are especially rich.”

Zhong Yuanhong couldn't help but smile: "I am very deep on the matter of being especially rich, haha..."

Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile at each other. In Zhong Yuanhong's opinion, there was nothing wrong with this sentence, because the young man in front of him who was talking to him easily raised 167.7 billion yuan at a private dinner a few days ago. There is a huge amount of capital, and most of them are foreign capital, at least on the surface, most of them are foreign capital.

"It's very important to have money, so there are so many angel funds in Silicon Valley, and many messy projects are pouring money into them. With more money and more projects, the final results will definitely be relatively large in absolute numbers. Technology is leading the world. Inevitably."

Zhong Yuanhong nodded silently.

After a while, Luo Sheng still explained in a clear and coherent manner: "Secondly, the United States has excellent talent gathering power, rich people, attractive values, Hollywood's cultural output is very good, and life is relatively easy, after all, the United States has The per capita resources are much richer than ours, and it is rare to have a large number of super high-rise buildings in a big city like our side.”

"There are very few high-rise buildings in big cities like Los Angeles, just a few in the city center. These series of reasons allow the United States to easily harvest talents from all over the world, while China has worked hard to cultivate itself from more than one billion people. talent, and some will be lost to the United States.”

"Finally, I have to say Silicon Valley. The above two factors directly lead to the formation of the third factor, which is the success of Silicon Valley. There is money, projects, people, and flexibility here. After all, it is dominated by private capital, and I will give you a comparison of venture capital. It’s easy, and Silicon Valley is more tolerant of failure than anywhere else.”

"For example, you failed to start a business last time, and the investors saw that you were very focused, there was no financial fraud, and your character was very good. Even if you failed, it doesn't matter, they will give you another sum of money to toss. Then the results will be given to you. The core personnel have some dry shares, options, etc., forming a complete set of continuous development system that is in a positive cycle."

"Of course, to achieve results, it also needs to be able to turn into real commercial value in the market. From an economic point of view, no matter how good a technology is, if it cannot be transformed into a product acceptable to consumers in the market, then any patent will be It is equivalent to a piece of waste paper, your technology is worthless, it is not determined by an academician of the Academy of Sciences writing you a recommendation letter, but by thousands of consumers.”

Through such an exchange, Zhong Yuanhong seemed to have roughly guessed Luo Sheng's strategic layout, and the latter's next words directly proved his guess.

"Silicon Valley is a very good model, it is very successful, this must be faced and acknowledged." Luo Sheng gradually became serious and looked at Zhong Yuanhong: "Shengfeng Capital has now raised a huge capital of 237.7 billion, my investment strategy The focus is to give priority to the research and development of semiconductors and new materials, which is the core expectation, can produce results in the short term, and cast a wide net to take into account other fields. The specific operation is to benchmark the entire Silicon Valley model, and Shengfeng Capital is a mini version of the Silicon Valley model.”

Zhong Yuanhong couldn't help but blurted out in amazement: "My dear, this kind of skill and courage is really rare, Comrade Luo Sheng is indeed an extraordinary person and an extraordinary thing."

Luo Sheng continued: "So I think that the three requirements I put forward are necessary for state-owned assets to enter Shengfeng Capital. Even if Shengfeng Capital fails in the end, it will be a very precious 'autopsy report' for the country. The failure of the project can at least prove that this road does not work, and it can avoid some detours and save a lot of resource costs, especially time costs. Of course, if it succeeds, it is the best."

This sentence made Zhong Yuanhong look at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little respectful. Such words are not something that ordinary entrepreneurs or businessmen can say. This is a kind of national sentiment that dares to be the first in the world, and the pattern height does not know how many ranks of well-known big coffees have been thrown out.

Regardless of whether Luo Sheng's words came from the heart or deliberately, Zhong Yuanhong felt that it was no longer important, because one thing was indeed undeniable, that is, he not only said it, but also practiced it with practical actions. Row.

No amount of words, no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric, can't compare to actual actions.

Zhong Yuanhong concluded that once he went back to write the report and handed it in, it would be no surprise that his superiors would take Luo Sheng to a higher level.

Such a talent, and such a high national sentiment, it is really not easy to produce such a person.
